Eliminating CRON mail notification.

Martin Burnett — Tue, 29 Aug 2000 22:33:46 GMT

Everyone is familiar with the mail notifications received from cron jobs running on your system. Is there a way in HPUX v11 to stop them from being sent to roots mailbox everytime, and if so does the same hold true for AT? I have currently set the cron standard output mail to be redirected to /dev/null, but I was trying to find away to turn it off completely.

redirect the output of the cronjob to /dev/null.

command >/dev/null 2>&1
